Article Abstract

Kombucha is a fermented tea known for its health benefits. In this study, golden-flower tea ( and honeysuckle-flower tea () were first used as raw materials to prepare kombucha beverages. The antioxidant activities, total phenolic contents, concentrations of bioactive components, and sensory scores of two kombucha beverages were assessed. Additionally, effects of fermentation with or without tea residues on kombucha beverages were compared. The results found that two kombucha beverages possessed strong antioxidant activities and high scores of sensory analysis. In addition, fermentation with golden-flower tea residues could remarkably enhance the antioxidant activity (maximum 2.83 times) and total phenolic contents (3.48 times), while fermentation with honeysuckle tea residues had a minor effect. Furthermore, concentrations of several bioactive compounds could be increased by fermentation with golden-flower tea residues, but fermentation with honeysuckle-flower tea residues had limited effects. Moreover, the fermentation with or without tea residues showed no significant difference on sensory scores of golden-flower tea kombucha and honeysuckle-flower tea kombucha, and golden-flower tea kombucha had higher sensory scores than honeysuckle-flower tea kombucha. Therefore, it might be a better strategy to produce golden-flower tea kombucha by fermentation with tea residues, while honeysuckle-flower tea kombucha could be prepared without tea residues.

The cerambycid beetles are important components in the terrestrial ecosystem as they play a dual role in both degrading dying trees and killing healthy plants. The factors including human activity, habitat contraction, climate changes and pesticide use have been shaping the adaptation of beetles to host plants and the environment. As suggested in research on the functions of beetles' olfactory proteins, odorant binding proteins (OBPs) have been found to be involved in insecticide resistance other than chemoreception.

Bacterial infections have become a major challenge to global public health security. In this study, based on the concept of green synthesis, three cerium dioxide (CeO)-calcium oxide (CaO) composites (CS-CeO@CaO, CT-CeO@CaO, and CTD-CeO@CaO) were developed using chemical hydrothermal (CS), chrysanthemum tea impregnation (CT), and residue impregnation (CTD). Eggshell-derived calcium oxide was used as the carrier, in combination with the functional components of chrysanthemum tea and its residue extract.

To overcome the limitations of conventional enzymatic glyphosate (Glyp) detection methods, including enzyme environmental sensitivity, high cost, and limited enzyme sources, this study developed a portable paper-based fluorescence platform (Y-R membrane) based on a metal-organic framework (MOF)-driven fluorescence regulation mechanism for non-enzymatic and rapid detection of Glyp. This platform was constructed by immobilizing MnMOF and yellow carbon dots (Y-CDs) on a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. The ZrOx-OH derived from alkaline-treated UiO-66 regulated the Mn/Mn redox reactions through its surface hydroxyl groups, triggering the red fluorescence of MnMOF.

Fenpropathrin (FPT) residues in tea pose a threat to consumers' health. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) offers a rapid and convenient approach for FPT detection. However, existing LFIA formats, particularly those employing fluorescent nanoparticles, are susceptible to interference from the tea matrix's endogenous fluorescence, limiting their accuracy for FPT analysis.
